As a workaround, I suggest that you persist your global information on the server. You can cache a simple string for a short duration in the Application object:

Application("MyString") = "Hello world"

You might consider backing that up with a database record or a text file, as you have little control over when the application object will expire.

i tried to use single threading, but the application has failed.
Can you also tell me what is the disadvantages of single threading, for example do errors on the single thread cause errors to all users on the same thread,
i see theat by default it is appartment threading

Single threading can result in serious bottlenecks on the server. You should use Apartment threading and make sure that the "Unattended execution" box is checked.
